Steps
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned.
Stir in minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add arborio rice, cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat each grain.
Pour in a splash of vegetable broth, stirring continuously until absorbed.
Gradually add the rest of the broth, stirring often, letting each addition absorb before adding more (about 15-18 minutes).
When the rice is creamy and tender, stir in butter and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
